Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: #51, #53, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax: SwixV20 green
Another excellent day for classic skiing. Snow was wetter and warmer than yesterday, and while green wax worked okay, VR30 would have been better. P17 was almost full when I headed out at 10, and was completely full when I finished at noon, but the trails were surprisingly peaceful and quiet. Grooming was great, nice deep tracks. Saw a couple of skaters, and it seemed to be not too bad for skate either. (Sorry for the sideways photos, haven't got the hang of this yet).
